% Asheville, N, C., is jealous of At
shnta. : :
3 For that matter nearly every city
zh theé South is jealous of Atlanta
'kom some cause or another-——all sim
sy because of Atlanta's pre-emi
ence in the South. But Asheville is
®alous just because Atlanta has, en
pyed cool weather all summer and
#Atlanta citizens have really guffered
ab discomfort during . the entire
Lpeated term.
. Climate is a touchous subject with
~Uheville.
+ In Atlanta delightful climate 1s
ken as & matter of course, and it 1s
mly mentioned incidentally here be
fmuse of the myriad of other big
hings discussed.
But climate is Asheville’s sole stock
n trade. :
. And when an estimable citizen of
\tlanta, I'rederic J. Paxon, president
‘d‘ the Atlanta Convention Bureau,
wturned home from a two weeks'
sxip to Asheville and dared to raise
als voiece to. the extent that tne
veather is as cocl and comfortable
lyore as at Asheville, and that some
‘hing ought to be sald about it in a
grooklet or two, Asheville went all to
gMeces and staried to throwing tne
aall all over the lot.
& One of her enterprising newspaper
“men took up the cudgel and began
“selaying right and left. And to his
i.‘tedlt-—flewnpnpm- men seldom re-
Swive due credit—he made out a case
{;mt is at least interesting and one
! t indirectly advertises Atlanta's
efreshing climate in the summer to
n even greater degree.
And when Asheville has to admit
Atlanta as a rival.in climate that 1s
n itself o big thing for this city.
Even though the newspaper scrive
,ter used up his ml& stock of irony
n discussing Atlantd as a rival, he
_pened up a COntroversy which has
.rought out the stamling fact that
‘Atlanta this summer is not only a
teal rival of Asheville, but all things
onsidered js a more pleasant clity
.n which to spend an entire summer
_han is the North Carolina resort. |
. Now, dashbing this Asheville, feller,
.et's read his article first and then
wad the figgers. Here 18 the article
vhich appearcd in the Asheville vm-‘
sen, Monday, August 3n: ‘
. Here's bad news. ‘
» Asheville, long recognized as the
. South’s premier summer resort, 18
to have a nearby rival |
. And it will be a formidable com- ‘
- petitor In the field of attractng
. pleasure seekers.
Atlanta is going to bid for this
,&‘mmue. No less a personage
‘ n Col. Frederic J. Paxon, presi
dent of the Atlanta Convention Bu
reau and prominent Georgla mer
ehant, is behind the movement to
transform Atlanta Into a resort
“Yi ;
2 ‘jungs filled with Ashevillle
air, Colonel Paxon recently re
turned home after a couple of weeks
here. One of his first callers was
- a Georgian reporter, Still exhila
rated from the effects of the moun
tain breezes, Colonel Paxon made
‘the startling announcement that
Asheville's climate is in no way su
rflor to that of Atlanta. He in
ists that the time has come for
Atlanta to go into the resort busi
pess. And the (seorglan reporter,
* enjoying the breeze of the colonel's
- electric fan, agreed that it was,
fndeed, pleasant in Atlanta.
. It is great news to Atlanta peo
‘ ple. Under the delusion that they
:‘vo been coming here to enjoy a
superior climate, they must now
. realize that they are carrying coals

to Newcastle or some guch thing.
They haveb een spending thou
sands of dollars a mfonth each “sum
mer to live in -Asheville without
knowing that they could have fared
just as well at home, Goodness
gracious, what a mistake they have
‘made. 4
And just suppose C‘olonel Paxon
had not come to Asheville, They
never wouldl have discovered their
‘error, It remained for the Con
vention Bureau president to dis
| cover that the breezes from the
sun baked sides of Stone Mountain
are just as pleasant as thase which
come from Mitchell’'s frosty sum
mit. And none of the thousands
of Atlanta’s people ever knew; be
fore Colonel Paxon made the dis
covery that the views' from the
Candler Building roof are just as
inspiring and awesome as the many
colored panorama which s ‘un
folded beneath the eyes of one
standing on Pisgah's Peak.
Now that the colonel has made
the discowery, many Atlama people
wlll wonder why it is they never
found out that it is just as pleas
ant to. sleep between the steaming
sheets of their beds at home as it
is beneath the brankets of moun
tain inns and boarding houses,
They are under many obligations
‘to the colonel for his enlighten
ment, They should now plan to
send Him to Atlantie City. Maybe
he would announce upon h&u return
that the Piedmont Park lake is ab
solutely and positively just as fine
a body of water as anything the
New Jersey resort can brag about,
No one ever dealed that Atlanta
abounds in air. But reference to
the Atlanta air hes never before in
cluded encomiums as to its chilli
ness. On the comrary-—
But that wouid pe going too far.
There are too many Atlanta ‘people
here who haven't heard of the colo
nel's discovery to make any such
intimation. - And they muat not be
offended. Especially must they not
be rubbed the wreng way by Ashe
vile now that they have a resort
of their own just as pleasant as the
one which they ave visiting.
Now, then, on the very Sunday that
the Asheville writer was exuding nis
fronieal shafts, Sunday, August 24,
the difference in temperature between
the city swept by the breezes from
“the sun baked sides of Stone Moun
tain” and the city cooled, by breezes
from “Mitchell's frosty summit” was
exactly three d.f:e”' according to
the United Statds weather bureau.
The average mean temperature for
Asheville on that day, ohly 73 de
and for Atlanta 76 degrees, |
(00l and delightful in “wonderful”
Asheville on that day, enly: 73 de
grees? Yes, wondeeful; ,A‘ud.«\, nt;.,
far to the south:in Georgia,only, 7¢
degrees. No wonder Mr. Paxon: waxed
enthusiastic owew sAtlanta’s cum.t%‘
And proof conchusive that Aéuqu
really is a rivalef the North Caro- |
lina resort city in temperature. No
layman living can tell the ditrerem'oi
of three degrees in heat. ‘
Then to take the figures on the
other dates mentioned. . On August
18, the date The Georgian story wu‘
published, the temperatuge in. Ashe
ville was 72 angd m ?u:nt& 71 de
grees. A difference of only five de
grees, The next day the figures were
70 and 76, only' siX dégrees. Al
through the month of August —usuai
ly the hottest month' i 1 the vear,|
Asheville has been cooler by only a
sow degrees than Athanta” !

of dollars” for such a differente in

temperature? Three degrees does not
mean hot sheets in one town and
blankets in another. As a matter of
fact, blankets have been used in At
lanta on nights this summer prob
ably as frequently as they have in
Asheville,
Mr. Paxon does not claim any ocean
bathing beaches for Atlanta, nor does
he claim any snow capped moun
tains, But he does claim that the
weather in Atlanta all during the
summer of 1919 has been cool, pleas
ant, comfortable, refreshing, and that
as far as getting relief from any
heated perfod is concerned it has not
been necessary for a single Atlanta
person to depart from the ctiy for
the Carolinas or anywhere élse.
And in this opinion .he is backed
by 250,000 Atlanta citizens who have
remained here and are qualified to
take the witness stand.

PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
FOR ATLANTA CLIMATE
“Atlanta, the Pinnacle City,” is to
be the slogan of the campaign 'of
advertising and publicity concerning
Atlanta's.altitude and climate that is
soon to be launched by the Atlanta
Convention Bureau, and in the cam
paign the bureau has been pledged
the enthusiastic support of evefy
commercial and civie body in the city.
At the annual meeting Jast I'riday
of the Secretaries’ Club of Atlanta,
composed of the secretaries of com
mercial and civic bodies, one of the
first matters taken up was the At
lanta Convention Bureau's advertising
campaign to make Atlanta’s climate
famous, and voluntarily the sccre
taries informed Cousin Fred Houser,
the major domo of the Convention
Bureau, they are heartily in accord
with his plans and will co-operate to
the fullest extent.” They also elected
him predident of the club. |
Mr. Housger'is now about roady to
Zo to press with his new booklet on
Atlanta’s climate, in which he will
present a comprehensive summary of
weather conditions in this city during |
sach month and season of the year,
and averages covering the entire year,
based upon records furnished him by
the Ut"t'ed States Weather Bureau.
0 ISSUE BOOKLET. ' |
On the back cover es the booklet
Mr. Houser will plY:e a diagram repy
resenting a pyramid. The base line
of the pyramid will represent sea level
and the summit of the pyramid will
represent Atlanta’s altitude, which is
1,050, feet. On each of the steps of
the pyramid below Atlanta will be
placed the name of a prominent
American clty with its altitude. Thus
will be shown at a glance, in visual
‘ized form, using actual figures, the
‘pinnacle position occupied by Atlanta
with an elevation superior to the
principal cities of the country except
ing Denver, Salt Lake City and one or
two others of lesser note in the Rocky
Mountains,
. _Another, point on which especial
‘emphasis will be laid in the climate
booklet will be Atlanta’s midnight
temperature in the summer season.
Atlanta’s cool nights and brisk moun
tain breezes are well known to every
one living in Atlanta, but not so well
known to other people. Cool nights
enable Atlanta people to sleep sound
ly and peacefully throughout the
summer season. They are the secret
of the wonderful energy of Atlanta
people. As Cousin Fred Houser aptly
remarks in this connection: “Atlan
tans go to work full of pep every
morning, winter and summer.”
: SLOGANS TO BE SNAPPY.
A full supply of the climate book
lets will be furnished by the Conven-
Htion Bureau to every civic and com
mercial body in the city, for their use
with their own several names on the
front cover, if they so desire. Like
wise a supply will be furnished to
mercantile and manufacturing firms
of the city.
Through the channels of the Con
vention Bureau, plus these numerous
other methods of distribution, it is
planned to put out thousands of the
‘booklets covering all parts of the
country. In addition to the booklet
the Convention Bureau is ‘preparing
some snappy climate slogans to be
put on the letter stationery of At
lanta commercial bodies and business
concernsg generally. . -
Los Angeles with an average year
ly temperatuare of 62 degrees has cap
italized h@' guimate and made it fa
mous, Atlanca with an average year
ly temperature of 61 has become a
famous city without any special men
tion of her climate. Now it is pro
posed by the (oenvention Bureau to
take this magnificent asset and de
velop it to the utmost.

“The Atlanta Is the Best”
GREGG SHORTHAND is taught exclusively by 799 of the cities and towns of the
United States whose hich schools teach shorthand. Eighty-five per cent of the private and
parochial schools teach it. In*practically all these schools, GREGG SHORTHAND HAS
DISPLACED SOME OTHER SYSTEM-—Pitmanie shorthand for the most'part.
GREGG SHORTHAND is easy to learn, easy to write and easy to read. It is the short
hand of today and tomorrow, not of yesterday. The world moves swiftly. Methods that
were good enough a few Years ago are obsolete today. Systems of shorthand and book
keeping that were good enough a few years ago are obsolete and inadequate today. For
present-day conditions a present-day system is necessary — GREGG SHORTHAND IS
THAT SYSTEM. !
THE ATLANTA BUSINESS COLLEGE TEACHES GREGG SHORTHAND = BE
CAUSE IT IS THE BEST SYSTEM. IT IS THE SYSTEM OF THE NATION.
